The one who taught me Mommyhood

Four years ago today I became a Mom.

I was exhausted.

 I was exhilarated.

Every experience was new, exciting, and scary.

And I knew my life was forever changed.

 

Three years ago I was in awe.

Amazed at how fast she learned.

I loved watching her while she slept.

Teaching her how to walk and talk.

Anxiously awaiting each new milestone.

Not knowing I would soon wish

they had not come so fast.

 

Two years ago I was the Mommy of a toddler.

Enjoying all our new adventures together.

Playing games, laughing, talking.

Expecting our next baby, but calm with experience.

Amazed at the personality of this sweet little person 

who I spend every day with.

How blessed I am to be at home with my children!

 

One year ago I became the Mom of a preschooler.

Singing songs, reading and writing.

Learning to do things "by herself",

while I was never far away.

Watching her become a big sister

while growing strong tastes, likes and dislikes

that I would not have ever expected.

Giving butterfly kisses and receiving bear hugs.

 

Today, I am Mommy to a four year old.

Who makes me smile every day with her silliness.

She loves to make people laugh!

A girl who is independant, yet loves to cuddle on the couch together.

One who loves books, stickers, drawing, and being outside.

She loves to sing, making up her own song as she goes.

And even when she just won't look at my camera, ;o)

I am so grateful that I get to be her Mom.
